What Is Globalization? The world is moving away from self-contained national economies toward an interdependent, integrated global economic system Globalization refers to the shift toward a more integrated and interdependent world economy

What Is The Globalization of Markets? Historically distinct and separate national markets are merging It no longer makes sense to talk about the “German market” or the “American market” Instead, there is the “global market” falling trade barriers make it easier to sell globally consumers’ tastes and preferences are converging on some global norm firms promote the trend by offering the same basic products worldwide

What Is The Globalization of Production? Firms source goods and services from locations around the globe to capitalize on national differences in the cost and quality of factors of production like land, labor, and capital Companies can lower their overall cost structure improve the quality or functionality of their product offering

Why Do We Need Global Institutions? help manage, regulate, and police the global marketplace promote the establishment of multinational treaties to govern the global business system Examples include the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) the World Trade Organization (WTO) the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the World Bank the United Nations (UN)

What Do Global Institutions Do? The World Trade Organization (like its predecessor GATT) polices the world trading system makes sure that nation-states adhere to the rules laid down in trade treaties promotes lower barriers to trade and investment The International Monetary Fund (1944) maintains order in the international monetary system The World Bank (1944) promotes economic development The United Nations (1945) maintains international peace and security develops friendly relations among nations cooperates in solving international problems and in promoting respect for human rights is a center for harmonizing the actions of nations

What Is Driving Globalization? The decline in barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and capital that has occurred since the end of World War II since 1950, average tariffs have fallen significantly and are now at 4 percent countries have opened their markets to FDI Technological change microprocessors and telecommunications the Internet and World Wide Web transportation technology

Declining Trade And Investment Barriers Average Tariff Rates on Manufactured Products as Percent of Value

What Does Globalization Mean For Firms? Lower barriers to trade and investment mean firms can view the world, rather than a single country, as their market base production in the optimal location for that activity Technological change means lower transportation costs - firms can disperse production to economical, geographically separate locations lower information processing and communication costs - firms can create and manage globally dispersed production systems low cost global communications networks - help create an electronic global marketplace low-cost transportation - help create global markets global communication networks and global media - create a worldwide culture, and a global market for consumer products

The Changing Demographics Of The Global Economy There has been a drastic change in the demographics of the world economy in the last 30 years Four trends are important: the Changing World Output and World Trade Picture the Changing Foreign Direct Investment Picture the Changing Nature of the Multinational Enterprise the Changing World Order

How Has World Output And World Trade Changed? In 1960, the United States accounted for over 40% of world economic activity By 2008, the United States accounted for just over 20% of world economic activity A similar trend occurred in other developed countries The share of world output accounted for by developing nations is rising and is expected to account for more than 60% of world economic activity by 2020

How Has World Output And World Trade Changed? The Changing Demographics of World GDP and Trade

How Has Foreign Direct Investment Changed Over Time? In the 1960s, U.S. firms accounted for about two-thirds of worldwide FDI flows Today, the United States accounts for less than one-fifth of worldwide FDI flows Other developed countries have followed a similar pattern In contrast, the share of FDI accounted for by developing countries has risen Developing countries, especially China, have also become popular destinations for FDI

How Has Foreign Direct Investment Changed Over Time? Percentage Share of Total FDI Stock 1980-2007

How Has Foreign Direct Investment Changed Over Time? FDI Inflows 1988-2008

What Is A Multinational Enterprise? A multinational enterprise (MNE) is any business that has productive activities in two or more countries Since the 1960s, there has been a rise in non-U.S. multinationals, and a growth of mini-multinationals

The Changing World Order Many former Communist nations in Europe and Asia are now committed to democratic politics and free market economies so, there are new opportunities for international businesses but, there are signs of growing unrest and totalitarian tendencies in some countries like Russia China and Latin America are also moving toward greater free market reforms between 1983 and 2008, FDI in China increased from less than $2 billion to $90 billion annually but, China also has many new strong companies that could threaten Western firms

How Will The Global Economy Of The 21st Century Look? The world is moving toward a more global economic system… But globalization is not inevitable there are signs of a retreat from liberal economic ideology in Russia Globalization brings risks the financial crisis that swept through South East Asia in the late 1990s the recent financial crisis that started in the U.S. in 2008, and moved around the world

Is An Interdependent Global Economy A Good Thing? Supporters believe that increased trade and cross-border investment mean lower prices for goods and services greater economic growth higher consumer income, and more jobs Critics worry that globalization will cause job losses environmental degradation the cultural imperialism of global media and MNEs Anti-globalization protesters now regularly show up at most major meetings of global institutions

How Does Globalization Affect Jobs And Income? Critics argue that falling barriers to trade are destroying manufacturing jobs in advanced countries Supporters contend that the benefits of this trend outweigh the costs countries will specialize in what they do most efficiently and trade for other goods—and all countries will benefit

How Does Globalization Affect Labor Policies And The Environment? Critics argue that firms avoid costly efforts to adhere to labor and environmental regulations by moving production to countries where such regulations do not exist, or are not enforced Supporters claim that tougher environmental and labor standards are associated with economic progress as countries get richer from free trade, they implement tougher environmental and labor regulations

How Does Globalization Affect National Sovereignty? Is today’s interdependent global economy shifting economic power away from national governments toward supranational organizations like the WTO, the EU, and the UN? Critics argue that unelected bureaucrats have the power to impose policies on the democratically elected governments of nation-states Supporters claim that the power of these organizations is limited to what nation-states agree to grant the power of the organizations lies in their ability to get countries to agree to follow certain actions

How Is Globalization Affecting The World’s Poor? Is the gap between rich nations and poor nations is getting wider? Critics believe that if globalization was beneficial there should not be a divergence between rich and poor nations Supporters claim that the best way for the poor nations to improve their situation is to reduce barriers to trade and investment implement economic policies based on free market economies receive debt forgiveness for debts incurred under totalitarian regimes

How Does The Global Marketplace Affect Managers? Managing an international business differs from managing a domestic business because countries are different the range of problems confronted in an international business is wider and the problems more complex than those in a domestic business firms have to find ways to work within the limits imposed by government intervention in the international trade and investment system international transactions involve converting money into different currencies
